#2008 911 porsche sport chrono plus package upgrade#

The aim was to further-separate the characteristics of both engines - giving the big-bore, short-stroke 3.8 more bang at the top end and a noticeably stronger power delivery than the standard engine. While the direct-injection flat sixes are essentially still a 3.6 and a 3.8, the smaller engine is more oversquare than before (with a larger 97.0mm bore and shorter 81.5mm stroke for 3614cc), while the harder-edged 3.8 is dramatically more oversquare (running a 102.0mm bore and a much-shorter 77.5mm stroke for exactly 3800cc). Previously, both capacities shared the same 82.8mm stroke, but the 3.8 ran a 99.0mm bore - 3.0mm larger than the 3.6’s. On paper, the most obvious change is to the engine’s bore and stroke configuration. But what better opportunity to take all the inherent advantages of Porsche’s superb horizontally opposed flat sixes - compactness, low centre of gravity and a good balance of masses - and make them, well, even better. What prompted all the effort in meeting some very specific design parameters was Europe’s strict Euro 5 emissions standard that hits in September 2009. Even the screws have changed (due to new legislation, apparently). Not one single component has been carried over from the existing 3.6- and 3.8-litre flat sixes that have powered the Carrera and Carrera S 911s since 2004.Ĭylinder head, pistons, conrod, crankshaft, induction system, exhaust system, oil system, engine case, you name it, they’re different. Rarely, if ever, has embracing mother nature delivered such a rush.īoth direct-injection 911 engines are all-new. Yes, it’s faster, edgier, sexier, better-equipped and more expensive, but it’s also cleaner, greener, more efficient and, best of all, more fun. Just don’t underestimate the significance of the changes lurking beneath the 2008 911’s bi-xenon headlights, restyled bumpers, Audi-inspired LED running lights and new wheels and colours.

#2008 911 porsche sport chrono plus package upgrade#

Like the news that Porsche was going to upgrade the already brilliant 997-series 911 with a double-clutch transmission, direct fuel injection and some techno taillights.Įxpectation? You could say that. Too much of it can only lead to utter disappointment when things don’t go according to plan - just ask anyone who allocated their share of last month’s $58 million Powerball booty to the eternal pursuit of hedonism and vehicle acquisition, only to discover that the winning ticket wasn’t even sold in their state.īut when the guarantee of something great does exist, few things can compare to the rare, but exciting sensation that comes with it.

Top 30 Most Underrated Albums!!

My top 30 favorite albums that I think are lovely and should be praised WAAAAY more than they are! Everything on here is great and I recommend all these albums!

30. Bon Iver - 22 A Million

Bon Iver takes his sound to the most experimental. Vocoder passages are super dope, 715 Creeks is an insanely underrated tune.

29. Siriusmo - Mosaik

Great kitschy synth music. Catchy, lighthearted, sweet and playful.

28. Bones - Useless

Best underground soundcloud rap album in my opinion. Cavernous, edgy, loud and depressing.

27. Mellowhype - Numbers

For an album with what I consider to be one of the best Frank Ocean features ever I hardly see it talked about in hip-hop circles. Great album.

26. Justice - Audio Video Disco

Grossly overshadowed by it’s monolithic older brother Cross, Audio Video Disco still serves bangers. Civilization is one of my top 10 songs of all time but On’n’on, Helix and New Lands should not be overlooked!

25. Gesaffelstein - Aleph

If I had to describe Aleph in a single word it would be brooding. Runners up include expensive, violent and scary.

24. Duck Sauce - Quack

If anything proves that we are long overdue for a full length A-Trak solo album, it’s this.

23. Yung Lean - Unknown Memory

Cloud rap pioneer Yung Lean’s opus. Volt, Sunrise Angel, Sandman and Blinded are all incredibly ahead of their time.

22. Playboi Carti - In Abundance

This one comes with a bit of a caveat considering it is a fan-compiled mixtape and not an official album but many of the songs on this project in my opinion stack up against highlights from S/T, Die Lit and WLR.

21. Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun

Referring to this album as moody and ambient don’t do it justice but for the sake of keeping  this list concise it will have to do. Dead Can Dance deserve the highest order of praise for this medieval epic.

20. Porches - The House

A melancholy and personal look into Porches frontman Aaron Maine’s experiences with social anxiety and depression. It’s groovy and will have you dancing with tears in your eyes.

19. Oni Ayhun - Oar003

Only two tracks long which makes it the shortest album on this list, Olof Dreijer of The Knife, under the pseudonym Oni Ayhun, makes curious, twinkling techno on Oar003.

18. Amnesia Scanner - Another Life

Abrasive and glitchy, german electronic duo Amnesia Scanner’s first album is not for the feint of heart but anyone who decides to keep an open mind (and the volume knob sitting lower than usual) will find some truly captivating moments of electronic brilliance on this record.

17. Mr Oizo - All Wet

Absolutely fucking hilarious album. With features from Skrillex, Boys Noize, Peaches and even Charli Xcx. All wet is modern dadaism and if you don’t believe me make sure you check out No Tony and Chairs in particular.

16. Crystal Castles - Amnesty (I)

I do not understand why this album isn’t  considered more when talking about Crystal Castles’ discography. It sounds related to their self titled trilogy but takes the band’s style in a less dance oriented, more experimental almost instrumental hiphop direction. Edith Francis’ vocals are great and the songs Ornament and Fleece stand out in particular, not to mention that the bonus track Kept may be one of the group’s best.

15. Simian Mobile Disco - Murmuations

Very low-key electronic music from Simian Mobile Disco, Murmurations features some flooring choral pieces backed by soft dance patterns. Great relaxing listen for fans of Caribou, Jamie XX and Chrome Sparks.

14. Mdou Moctar - Ilana (The Creator)

Where to even begin with this one! Mdou Moctar is a guitarist from Niger and Ilana (The Creator) is in my opinion his best work. Fuzzy rock music that sounds like it’s being played from 50-foot monitors in the middle of the Sahara.

13. Chemical Brothers - Further

Chemical brother’s second sleekest album after born in the echoes, Further has glamour that you’re seldom able to find elsewhere.

12. Boys Noize - Mayday

Absolute fucking rager of an album. Featuring Policia, Remy Banks and Hudson Mohawke among others, Boys Noize is in your face and doesn’t give a shit on Mayday. The remix of Birthday released after the album with Danny Brown is priceless.

11. Nico - Desertshore

Break out the tissues if you plan on listening to Desertshore today, this album is unrelentingly melancholic. Nico’s vocals sound almost ghost-like at times and the instrumentals on here are gorgeous.

10. The Newcomer - Earth Motivation

Sopping wet with OPN influence, Earth Motivation is glitchy but retains an emotional quality that will sit with you for a while after your first listen. Perfect for fans of Autechre, Oneohtrixpointnever and Venetian Snares.

9. Tami T - High Pitched and Moist

High Pitched and Moist is definitely not for everyone, but if you like your pop smeared with autotune and in-your-face sexuality then Tami T’s 2019 album is perfect for you! I recommend this one for any fans of Fever Ray and GFOTY.

8. Ryuichi Sakamoto - Async

From the jump, Japanese avant garde classical composer, pianist, electronic musician and synthpop legend Ryuichi Sakamoto hits you where it hurts on Async. The first tune Andata is one of the most beautiful and soul crushing instrumental songs I have ever had the pleasure of hearing, but the quality remains consistent throughout the entire record.

7.  Blanck Mass - World Eater

Holy. Fuck. Drop whatever you’re doing right now and listen to this album. I don’t care if you’re in a business meeting or getting lunch, World Eater demands the utmost attention. After hearing the transition from the end of Rhesus Negative to Please my life was never the same. I can’t sing Blanck Mass’ praises enough so you’re going to have to check this one out yourself but I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.

6. Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene

French synth deity Jean-Michel Jarre’s intergalactic journey Oxygene is a record that soars above and beyond its compatriots (namely Mort Garson’s Plantasia and Jean-Jacques Perrey’s Moog Indigo) and will take you on an extra-planetary voyage from which you may never return. I recommend listening to this album with the best sound system you have available to really get the most out of it.

5. The Knife - Shaken-Up Versions

Technically The Knife’s last album before their retirement (not counting the Terminal 7 Live album), Shaken-Up Versions sees Karin and Olof Dreijer metamorphosing songs from all across their discography into dancefloor fillers. Electronic musicians retooling their material into more danceable, DJ set ready tracks is nothing new (See Alive 2007 and All Across the Universe) but the Knife’s catalog is already so impressive that hearing classics transmogrified like this is a phenomenal experience that I don’t want any dance music fans to miss out on! They reworked Silent Shout for christ’s sake how can you not love this.

4. Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Ecophony Rinne

Katsuhiro Otomo famously tapped Geinoh Yamashirogumi for the soundtrack to Akira, but what some of you may not know is that, while working on the Akira manga, Otomo was listening to this record in particular which inspired him to collaborate with the collective for the Akira film. Ecophony Rinne is like nothing I have ever heard before or since. It’s got a tectonic quality to it that makes you think you’re witnessing an extinction event or the birth of a new universe while listening which is an experience I highly recommend, ESPECIALLY for fans of the Akira manga and film; this album sounds like how Akira looks and Akira looks damn good.

3. Buy Muy Drugs - Buy Muy Drugs

Slept on in every regard, Buy Muy Drugs is a triumph of experimental and industrial hiphop. The duo made up of rapper Denmark Vessey and producer Azarias are welding together grime, bass music and afro-cuban percussion into a dystopic and pummeling listening experience that gets better and better with every listen. To quote JPEGMAFIA, “Death Grips can’t do this shit”.

2. Susumu Hirasawa - Technique of Relief

This album is jaw-dropping. It’s pop, ambient, traditional-Japanese experimental choral synth music delivered with soaring, regal grandiosity. One of the closest things to musical perfection I can think of, Technique of Relief is an album that even now I am having a difficult time describing. Intensely emotional yet hopeful; groovy but substantive, Susumu Hirasawa penned an oeuvre with this record.

1. Daft Punk - Human After All

The number one spot goes to the black sheep of the world’s most beloved electronic music making androids’ discography. Panned on release for being “spread thin” and “too minimal”, (The Village Voice went so far as to call the album “ a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought “) Daft Punk’s third album Human After all is definitely different from it’s rhinestone studded predecessor but in the absolute best way possible. It’s groovy, dark, emotional, tragic, minimal, distorted and it yields some of the robots’ best tracks (Human After All detractors seem to forget that Technologic, Robot Rock and the title track do not actually stem from the Alive 2007 Coachella set but rather find their home on this album). Sleeper gems like Make Love, Emotion, Television Rule the Nation and Prime Time of Your Life range from introspective and moody RnB that would not feel out of place on a Sebastien Tellier record to blown out, gravelly rock oriented tunes that remind the listener of Daft Punk’s roots as french garage rockers. Phenomenal album, criminally underrated.

Tecno Spark 6 Go Budget Smartphone Launched in India Know Tecno Mobile Price, Specifications - Tecno Spark 6 Go Budget Smartphone Launched in India, 5000 mAh Battery

Tecno Spark 6 Go Budget Smartphone Launched in India Know Tecno Mobile Price, Specifications – Tecno Spark 6 Go Budget Smartphone Launched in India, 5000 mAh Battery

Tecno Spark 6 Go Price: Handset maker Tecno has launched its new budget Smartphone Techno Spark 6 Go for customers. Talking about the important features, this latest Tecno Mobile phone has been launched with Waterdrop Display Notch and Dual Rear Camera Setup. Tecno Spark 6 Go’s direct encounter in the market will be from Realme C3 and Samsung Galaxy M01s smartphones, apart from Redmi 9i. Let us…

[giant-head]

I wrote a script for the first part of the film - an opening montage telling the story of how the GIANT HEAD came into existence, how our protagonist fits in, etc. I’m going to get to boarding this tomorrow either with Krita or Blender Grease Pencil (I will definitely be using Blender to handle the virtual camera stuff that this script demands!)

all in all this calls for about eleven backgrounds - easily doable - and a lot of very complex perspective drawing animation, which is really going to push the limit of what I can do, but hey, that’s the whole point of this project!

the big concept is that each scene in the montage has text that’s physically present in the scene saying how long ago it is, and the camera flies through this text to transition from scene to scene.

film is divided into two parts: opening montage and main sequence. the opening montage tells the story of why there is a GIANT HEAD, the main sequence explains how the giant head is destroyed by one plucky antifascist lesbian

SCENE ONE locale: outdoor combat class the SWORDMASTER is training the GIRL GIRL is holding her bokken ready to strike, her eyes are shut, so there is a black screen she opens her eyes, dojo fades in her eyes narrow and she swings her bokken towards the camera camera pulls back, revealing other student who parries they lower swords, bow SWORDMASTER pats GIRL on the shoulder GIRL wipes away some sweat walks to edge of square, camera zooming to follow the TECHNOWITCH is standing at the edge of the square she passes the PROTAGONIST a ragged towel, they lean on the wall together camera pans upwards to slum skyline BIG RED WORDS: "ONE YEAR AGO" camera flies straight through the letter 'A' in 'YEAR'

required backgrounds: outdoor dojo panning up into slum skyline (panoramic perspective)

SCENE TWO exterior street scene; a busy market. various cyborgs wandering around. the protagonist buys something and then walks along the street to join the TECHNOWITCH, who is hanging out with a GAY COUPLE. atmosphere is relaxed. camera continues to pan as the group laugh at a joke. the pan reveals the words "ELEVEN MONTHS AGO" and we fly through the "O" in "AGO"

SCENE THREE street scene, past curfew. shuttered market stalls. scene is lit by moonlight - city lights in the distance, but not here. contrasting colour palette to the previous scene. there is a dark alleyway in a prominent place in the frame, with "TEN MONTHS AGO" stretching across it, and the barely visible silhouette of a parked car the same GAY COUPLE from the previous scene is running home, only to be stopped by car headlights suddenly appearing in alleyway. silhouetted in the lights is the COP ; body language aggressive and smug, e.g. tapping baton in hand (no dialogue). other COPS hanging back behind, laughing GAY COUPLE backs off, hands in the air. COP gets up in their space the GIRL sprints out of an alleyway and tackles the COP. two go sprawling into the street. girl shouts (again no VA, but clearly shouting) for the gay couple to run, and they do COP calls on his guys for backup, they start advancing forwards, with sort of 'i can't believe you did that but you are going down' expressions cop lights suddenly turn off, there is a spray of sparks blur of silhouette past the camera as the girl legs it camera flies through the "O" in "MONTHS"

backgrounds required: street scene dark, street scene lit by headlamps

SCENE FOUR exterior scene. a crowd is standing under a big pyramid, with cops in the same uniforms as the ones before - our specific cop is in the near foreground, possibly with a bruise. the FASCIST LEADER is giving a speech. (crowd should be static, don't try to animate a whole moving crowd). behind the crowd is some monumental architecture: lots of pillars and pyramids and such. symmetrical composition. balloons and drones float around in the sky. the words NINE MONTHS AGO stretch between the buildings above the podium camera pans up and zooms in on the FASCIST LEADER, who's doing some exaggerated gestures. we don't spent much time with him - this is just to establish who he is (a bad dude). nasty sneer. camera rises over his head and zooms through the "O" in MONTHS

SCENE FIVE interior scene. some kind of map room, prominently featuring a map of the city with little models of the various monumental architecture. we can see the boulevard where he's giving the speech. there is a line of portraits on the back wall of previous fascist leaders in front of buildings they've created. intended message: he wants to build a building to one-up his predecessors. the FASCIST LEADER is standing over the map, reading some kind of report. a nervous-looking FUNCTIONARY is standing nearby, rubbing his hands together. the FASCIST LEADER sneers and tears up the report. he picks up one of the models on the table and throws it over his shoulder. the FUNCTIONARY runs after it as the leader peers at the table. the FASCIST LEADER gets an idea. he walks to the back of the room, and picks up a bust of himself, and lugs it over to the table. he places it down, on top of the area that represents the slum where our protag lives. the FASCIST LEADER nods, looking very pleased with himself. camera zooms in on the table where there is tiny red letters reading "EIGHT MONTHS AGO" and flies through the "A" in "AGO" just to shake things up

SCENE SIX a street scene in a clearly residential area. a large crowd of people are gathered, looking shocked. facing them is a bunch of cops and some bulldozers (only they're like, cyborg bulldozers with someone like physically wired in or something). the GIRL, TECHNOWITCH and SWORDMASTER are near the front; the NERVOUS-LOOKING FUNCTIONARY is standing beside the lead cop with a long roll of paper. in the gap between the two crowds is the words "SEVEN MONTHS AGO". try for a kind of spherical fish eye perspective where we can zoom in without it looking weird? the camera zooms in on our protagonist; she shakes her head like "no you are not going to bulldoze our houses to build a giant fascist head". the camera then pans quickly over to the COP and the FUNCTIONARY. the COP smirks; the FUNCTIONARY legs it into the cop line. the COPS start firing tear gas rounds and shooting their guns in the air, conveniently avoiding the requirement to draw an entire crowd running away at once. blurry figures leg it from the crowd. a few people run forwards instead - our protagonist among them. the camera zooms through the battle into the "O" in "MONTHS"

SCENE SEVEN interior scene of the GIRL and the TECHNO WITCH's room. tech paraphernalia is scattered around; there's the GIRL's martial arts equipment. on screen left is a window; on screen right is the door in. the bed is in the foreground. suddenly, the door pops a bit in; the GIRL jumps out of bed the COP bursts in through the door only to get hit over the head by the GIRL with a chair or something. meanwhile, the TECHNOWITCH kicks out the window, and starts climbing out. they jump out the window. the camera flies through the window this time - oh shit we're having two scenes in this part of the montage?

SCENE EIGHT the camera looks down onto a street scene from the first floor outsie the window, the cops are advancing down the street with riot shields. behind them they have flame tanks; the street is on fire. they're just fucking shooting people the GIRL and the TECHNOWITCH run across the street and duck into an alleyway. they can't do shit against this. the camera flies into the flames, where it meets the words 6 MONTHS AGO with a really big 6 and goes through the hole in the 6

SCENE NINE the GIRL and the TECHNO WITCH are running under a bridge in a dry canal. a bunch of trucks are driving overhead carrying sheets of copper for the GIANT HEAD (right to left). a truck drives in carrying the words FOUR MONTHS AGO and we fly through the "A" in "AGO"

SCENE TEN the FASCIST LEADER is standing on a metal platform with camera drones flying around. behind him is the GIANT HEAD, but in broad daylight. he's nodding and looking very proud of himself. the head is in a slightly earlier stage of completion. the camera pulls BACK this time, and a CRT scanline filter is applied. as we pull back, we find ourselves in a dusty room containing the GIRL and the TECHNOWITCH; the TECHNOWITCH turns off the TV, revealing the words TWO MONTHS AGO. we fly in through the O

SCENE TEN an interior scene. a dusty room; a sketch of the GIANT HEAD on the wall, next to a window with the construction site in the distance. the GIRL is sitting, tapping her foot. the GAY COUPLE from earlier are also there, and some other PARTISANS. the TECHNOWITCH is pointing at something on the diagram. there is an arrow running along the bridge we saw on the TV, down the scaffolding, and to the base of the GIANT HEAD - and she scribbles an explosion in there. the camera goes out the window towards the building site. this leads us to the word YESTERDAY and we go through the D, leading us to the scene in progress now.

6 Finest Foldable Drones 2020 [UPGRADED Folding Drones listing] 6 Top Foldable Drones Today

DJI Mavic Pro

The Mavic Pro best drones with camera has been obtaining a lot of love since release and also we have not been any kind of any difference in our insurance coverage. So it's rarely as if it's a rare product.

Still, it IS a foldable drone and also most certainly one of the most effective drones on the marketplace. Foldable or not.

When folded up the Mavic Pro is 83x83x198 millimeters in size. That ´ s favorably little and makes it very easy to get on a knapsack or bag.

I specifically like the folding design, with the front and also back arms folding under and also over the text.

DJI has additionally provided a clear guard for the video camera and gimbal, which makes me comfortable with the suggestion of putting the drone in my bag without fretting that points will certainly obtain harmed or scratched.

Basically, it's obtained a virtually 30-minute trip time, excellent cam gear for the size as well as some of the most advanced trip intelligence we have actually seen in a modern-day consumer drone. There's a reason the Mavic is confirming prominent as well as this little guy does extremely little incorrect compared to various other drones in its market section.

ZeroTech Dobby

I'm always amused by the names that makers generate for their products.

I make sure there is a flawlessly practical reason why this drone from Zerotech is called the "Dobby", but I can not listen to that name without creating that poor pitiful house fairy from the Harry Potter series.

The Dobby arms fold out in a nice strong method, a minimum of based on the photos. Also when folded the props don't get taken care of in the area, so it's still a bit extra fragile than one would like for storage space objectives.

I can not state much about the design of the drone. It's white, the curved plastic covering is clearly indicated to evoke Sci-Fi techno paradise, however, what they actually manage is weird techno dystopia. That's simply a viewpoint though, you could such as the Dobby. That recognizes, it takes all types.

When it comes to requirements the Dobby makes for a very intriguing recommendation, not evaluating a publication by its cover is an excellent virtue however as well as. Which is obviously why it's on this list, to begin with.

Like the DJI Spark (which does not fold) the Dobby is pitched as a selfie drone. It's tiny sufficient to be kept in your hand as well as has a trip time of only 5 minutes. Nevertheless, the battery is removable, so you could take some saved along.

The Dobby has a rather suitable cam, easy app-based flight controls and also reliable picture tracking. This is just one of the best offers I have seen for budget-conscious drone aficionados.

GoPro Karma

Ah indeed, the GoPro Karma. This drone seems to have been named for paradox since GoPro has to have kicked many puppies in the past to be entitled to such a rough item launch.

When the Fate first came to market it had a major pest which created unavoidable collapsed of clients' shiny new drone.

This forced the activity video camera company to remember all the devices and also three months later on a newly-fixed Fate was back for sale.

Now that the Karma is back, we should give it a sporting chance to verify itself once more. It would be a great relocation too since it ends up that they have actually come up with something rather special.

Although that GoPro has never ever made a drone previously, the Karma is an adventurous practically thousand buck access to the market. Typically I would certainly place that down as a measure of hubris on GoPro's part, but it appears like the Karma is good value for cash also at that cost.

Particularly, the use of GoPro video camera technology suggests this little guy can obtain some wonderful video. GoPro has actually additionally made some clever decisions when it involves the gimbal and cam mount factor. The Karma has it's assembly on the front, which implies you can get all kinds of user-friendly angles and remain in little risk of the actual drone remaining in the shot.

There's no collision discovery as well as only fundamental autonomy, however, the Fate has the vital notes down. It can just improve from here.

We just listened to that GoPro will give up the drone service and will stop making drones after they have actually sold their existing stock. They will continue to provide assistance as well as service to the consumers who buy the Karma drone. You can see a listing of other drones you can utilize with GoPro right here.

Hover Video Camera Passport

What the heck is this thing? When I started folding drones I indicate ones that folded up like origami or something. This drone from hover simply folds up like a publication or, await it, a TICKET! Yes, this is among the weirdest drone designs I've seen, yet when you consider it there's a great deal of technique to this chaos.

This isn't the initial drone we've seen where all the blades are framed in a plastic grille point, but typically it's some weird round of dice.

Below the ideal and also left sets of rotors each to form a "web page" of the video camera ticket. So when it's folded it has the shapes and size of a publication. That makes stashing it rather easy, although I would certainly ensure there weren't sharp things that could jab via the grill in the exact same bag.

The drone does not resemble a lot. It's simply a flying rectangle. Still, I need to remove my hat to the useful layout factors to consider right here.

This is a utilitarian machine implied to do a job in an easy means. It utilizes face recognition and independent modern technology to remove, take snaps and after that break in half. Purposefully. You can put it away.

Halo Pro Drone

We did a small feature on the Halo Pro Drone not too long ago. Off, this is one of the most beautiful drones I have ever seen. Yes, I even believe it looks far better than the Mavic. Sue me.

Just like GoPro, this is Halo's very first venture into drones. Unlike GoPro, Halo has actually been making electrically ridable instead of cams. Is Halo on far better footing? That's open to question, yet I think their experience in making robust smart electric cars was probably super-helpful.

Like the Mavic, the Halo folds snugly with the props securely out of damage's method. It ships with a 4K, 30 FPS electronic camera and also a number of sensors as well as software program features to actually hammer in that modern drone track record. Halo Boards are truly attempting to do something next-generation with this product. It's only shipping to customers late in October of 2017. You can check out our post for a comprehensive break down over what's so exciting regarding it.

DJI Spreading Wings S1000+.

Let's completed with the largest, badest collapsible drone on the listing. This is not your sis's selfie drone. This is a monster of the skies that can bring some of the heaviest tons of any kind of industrial drone.

This is a drone that DJI made from the ground up to lug relatively hefty DSLR equipment. It gets its excellent lift from 8 rotors, each installed on an independent arm.

The S1000+ is made from some appealing high-grade products, by which I mean carbon fiber. It's a terrific selection because it's extremely solid yet still very light. Simply a pity it's valued as if made from solid gold.

To be sincere, the S1000+ was one of the very first folding drones that captured my focus. It's rather a view to see those 8 arms fold up down to make sure that this beast will (barely) enter into the back of a hatchback.

It's one of the less complex folding systems we have actually seen, with each arm just bending directly down. Thanks to that simplicity DJI says the S1000+ can be up and also flying in just 5 minutes.

In the trip, there's a little bit extra "folding" taking place, as the touchdown equipment gets out of the way and also permits sensational multi-angle shots. Despite being around for a while now, I still think the S1000+ is just one of the most functional expert photography drones one the marketplace.

It's a pity about the fifteen-minute flight time, but that can be rather forgiven, considering that the S1000+ has an optimum launch weight evaluated a heft 11KG.

The Advantages of a Foldable Drone.

There is one product category where collapsible drones appear to be one of the most many: selfie drones. Individuals like to take images of themselves with smart devices and so drone makers have thought of the fantastic idea of letting a drone do it for you.

The drone will fly off, count on the face you and also take a snap. Usually, this is all driven by some smart software programs that can acknowledge motions as well as faces.

It's a smart idea, but its selfies are prominent due to the fact that individuals have their smartphones with them at all times. Also when those silly droopy freight trousers were still the norm (I'm guilty you'll), I question any person was going to stuff a flying ninja celebrity right into their pockets. The same opts for a backpack. Not to mention, your gangly, starfishing drone is most likely to snap something while being sprayed throughout your jaunt.

Folding drones then have two major advantages. First of all, they make it useful to keep them with you. In the case of little selfie drones, this is crucial. It also suggests bigger drones can be transferred in a knapsack, in the trunk of a small car and truck or even on a motorcycle.

The 2nd advantage is that by folding the drone it makes it a lot less delicate during travel. The fragile rotors and also various other elements can be kept safe while folded up away, without the need to carry a bulky foam-molded case with you everywhere. It also makes "pocket drones" into something you 'd actually intend to embed your pockets!

The Downsides of Foldable Drones.

That all audios quite terrific, appropriate? Nonetheless, you always provide something up when you do something brand-new. Collapsible drones are no various and there are several downsides to them compared to their less-flexible relatives.

For one point, the folding mechanism includes a lot of complexity to a drone. Simply put, by adding several folding factors there are currently a lot more points of failure.

Whenever you include another moving part to your machine, there's one more point that can fail. Although many moving systems nowadays can be operated hundreds of times prior to breaking, it's simply the physics of damage.

Maintaining it Genuine (Tiny).

There you have it, these are some of one of the most fascinating collapsible best drones with camera out there right now. The future of drones is certainly looking a lot more compact and feature abundant. Soon the days of awkwardly lugging around a box or case will certainly lag us. Drones will certainly be packed away almost everywhere. If you're checking out DroneGuru that's probably currently real for you.

Feature: SONICA 2018

Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is a strange place. --- Monday: Cankarjev Dom Empty halls always give off that unintentionally eerie feeling that nobody should belong there. That their purpose is outside the purview of the humans that built them. The more cavernous they are, the more you get this feeling. Cankarjev Dom, or Cankar Centre/Hall, is an example of this. It is fascinating that this, the largest exhibition hall in Slovenia, would be the opening venue of SONICA Festival. The festival didn’t even use the main spaces of the hall, but rather a smaller stage — Kosovelova dvorana, or Kosovel Hall — located in the lower basement of the building. It only amplified that smallness. Friday: ROG Factory After concluding the night’s activities at Cankarjev Dom, I went to an abandoned factory just a little east along the Ljubljanica River for a club night. Upon entry, it felt like I entered a Berlin joint, complete with a blasted-out concrete space for where people could stand, a makeshift bar, and lots of smoking. Alleged Witches, a local house DJ, opened with a two-and-a-half hour set that was of acceptable techno with sparks of ambient. Actress followed with techno, too, though with sprinkles of his established sound. After watching for a legally-mandated 15 minutes, I left, returned here, and wrote these words. Lee Gamble is playing in a bit, but that’s at 3 AM. That’s something I would’ve done 5 years ago, maybe even 3 years ago, but that ain’t me now. Wednesday: +MSUM Tomoko Sauvage (Photo: Lana Špiler) Entering the Museum of Contemporary Art, also known as +MSUM, was a bit disjointed, if only because the doors look like wing tips. Still, walking in, I noticed the crowd gathering around this one gallery space. It’s always good to have that. Just that bit of overfill to show that people are genuinely interested in what you have to offer. Tomoko Sauvage was the key act of the night. The Japanese artist primarily performed using a piezo-based mic setup, two bowls filled with water, among other stuff. I’ve always had a certain fondness for piezo-based surface recordings, especially because we can’t often hear these vibrations, even if we can feel them. Sauvage resorted to sound manipulation that worked effectively for the materials she was using, creating a unique environment from within the space that makes it more appealing to the listener. You sort of drift into and out of the space without ever moving. That takes a certain level of sophistry in your craft, and I look forward to more of Sauvage’s work. --- Even the name is strange. Lyub-li-ahn-a. Those j’s are weird. Majbe thej form a conspiracj (yes, you pronounce it like y). I guess that’s why the locals just use the pronunciation “Loub-li-ahn-a.” Alas. It is by no means exotic. Many elements of the city I felt a compelling connection to past American and European cities I’ve managed to stumble my way into the last 10 years: Köln, Berlin, Santa Fe, Detroit… Chicago. Its smallness stirs memories of Providence, an emblem of my childhood I have not set foot in for longer. --- Saturday: Klub CD Sometimes, an earnest moment changes everything. I don’t know where I was, or, rather, where my head was, while at Klub CD, the rooftop restaurant and hall of Cankarjev Dom. Performing in front of me was William Basinski. He’s an odd sort: Despite being this avant-garde figure, he had the look, disposition, and dress of a rock star. He joked about wanting to catch the prior night’s club activity. But perhaps that was the point: His piece, A Shadow in Time, was designed as, in his words, “a funeral mass” and “calling home” to David Bowie, the epitome of cool. Perhaps fitting given it was he who refused the rites of burial and all that remains of him scattered in particles to the winds around Bali. Thursday: Kino Šiška Lifecutter (Photo: Lana Špiler) The oldest cinema in Ljubljana, the space has been converted into a concert hall on the lower levels. The structure reminds me of multiple cavernous concert halls I’ve descended into throughout my life, though it feels more in shape like an actual music venue than the various rectangular configurations of previous experience. The act first noted on the bill is a Slovene artist by the name of Lifecutter, who immediately gave off an imposing, spooky vibe appropriate for fall with his dithering samples and incongruent rhythms. That set the mood for the first 15 minutes of the set, building up a dark tension in the room. Had he cut off his set at 20, 25 minutes, it would’ve been a solid performance. But it lasted 45 minutes. The latter half of the set was filled with familiar techno and house patterns, grooves that ultimately did little to inspire the imagination. It roused the crowd into dancing, certainly, but I kept wanting him to go back to what he was doing at the beginning of his set. He did ultimately return there in the closing minutes, but by then, the impact was measurable. Monday: Cankarjev Dom The opening act of SONICA 2018 was Tristan Perich, of renowned One-Bit Symphony fame. Utilizing a single synth, he did a buildup of multiple looping patterns that in theory should allow the listener to drift in and out. But it felt similar after a while, as if he were running through the motions of what a synth set should sound like. There was hope that it would build up to something, but it didn’t go where I would’ve expected. Thursday: Moderna Gallerija Below are notes taken verbatim from an occurrence on Thursday at Moderna Gallerija, the Museum of Modern Art, near Tivoli Park. No context given. Use your imagination. * #3: Hunch! * #2: Hey, someone I can relate to * #4: Speaks better than #1 * #5: Has a pulse to the ground * #1: Unsure about what they’re saying * #6: Ljubljana needs less techno * #8: Jazz is bad jazz is bad * #7: A key to… all over the place? * #9: Those are certainly four words Friday: Cankarjev Dom The headline act was a new piece called Sacred Horror in Design by Iranian musician Sote with German visual artist Tarik Barri and a couple of Iranian partners. The structure of this long, winding set piece at first harkens to the emotional minimalism of Jerusalem in My Heart. But it’s not that simple, really. There is a pain, a sadness that circulates and shifts throughout the piece, whether in the background imagery or when the traditional Iranian instrumentation is distorted through various effects. It’s something that you can feel there. Even the moments where fear is meant to be invoked, it comes through as anguish. The tapestry brought about by Barri’s visuals served as an assertive complement to Sote’s composition. Whether through simple tears or bleeds that cut through the imagery or invocations of Persian-Islamic culture, the melancholy that is powering this piece shows. Saturday: Mestni park Tivoli Marco Barotti’s Swans (Photo: Lana Špiler) While wandering through Tivoli Park looking for ducks, I accidentally stumbled upon Marco Barotti’s sound installation, Swans, overlooking the pond. I stood there for a few moments, trying to make sense of the tiny spectacle, but it felt strangely monotonous. I moved on to find a small number of ducks in the pond and an old man struggling to feed them (only to be thwarted by pigeons). Wednesday: +MSUM Following Sauvage was a DJ set by James Ginzburg. For the most part, the crowd just ignored him and either stood around, ate at the little cantina next to the gallery, or smoked outside. Perhaps it was for the best: the set felt like second-hand James Ferraro or OPN with a side of Deafheaven. --- Instead, its strangeness comes from a calmness about it that accepts its minor absurdities. The prevalence of graffiti everywhere with little more than a shrug. A goofy meme referencing a short film when a new train opens to Italy. An anecdote of a taxi driver nonchalantly taking a tourist around the city as riots were occurring. Photo: Ze Pequeno This isn’t bad, mind you. It grants the opportunity to question things. --- Friday: Pritlicje In which a thing may have happened (among others). Thursday: Kino Šiška Giant Swan (Photo: Lana Špiler) To close the night, Giant Swan took to the stage… and then one of them immediately jumped off it. Taking an aggressive stance with the crowd, a drum & bass set soon followed. The setup they had was definitely one you would find among anyone who came from Brighton or Bristol. The energy they injected into their set certainly merited a comparison to Fuck Buttons, and unlike my previous experience with a live set of the latter, the crowd actually got into it. Much credit to that, a rarity in such settings. I just wish I could feel the same about the music. While I was hoping for the bombastic energy and tension-building that I’ve seen many a good Brighton and Bristol act pull off, what I got was the other type of music I hear from those cites: Meandering repetitions that never quite get out of their groove. I failed to understand their appeal, but at least the crowd was happy about it. Make of that what you will. Saturday: Klub CD The work was eerily reminiscent of the works of both The Caretaker or (especially) Tape Loop Orchestra. The first act, which Basinski claimed was comparable to a New Orleans-style funeral march, brought about a different angle. It wasn’t really a body going home. It was the body, the self going home, turning inward in ways that one couldn’t anticipate. Perhaps that is what looking at things in retrospect does to you. Understanding the purpose, the meaning of things that have come before. Many laid down to understand what was happening to them. Others, like myself, observed both outward and inward what was happening. A forgotten sadness encroaches. Photo: Ze Pequeno Monday: Cankarjev Dom The second act was Yair Elazar Glotman and Mats Erlandsson, who played a selection from last year’s joint effort, Negative Chambers. Joining them were local musicians Katarina Kozjek, Anastazija Krenn, and Žiga Murko. Now this was something. While Perich attempted to demonstrate something resembling intensity, Glotman and Erlandsson, et al. were intensity. The pull into the ethereal immediately brought to mind the works of Motion Sickness From Time Travel and the like, as well as the modest drawing that creates a sensation of envelopment yet isn’t overwhelming. You’re in a strange setting in these situations because of it. And yet… it felt right. It was something that could set the tone for the festival. Friday: Cankarjev Dom Container Doxa (Photo: Lana Špiler) “The situation remains excellent.” Container Doxa would conclude the night at Linhart Hall. Of the Slovene acts that played throughout the festival, they were the most interesting. They opened the piece with an empty stage, while the members stood in the crowd, imitating birdsong. One by one, the group assembled and delivered a performance as fragmented as their arrival. The bouncing of instrumentation played off of each other very effectively, while an arresting visual display stood at their backs, with Tine Grgurevic reading through a mechanical treatise that played off like a sinister lecture. As some would remark, there are limits to futurism. Container Doxa’s piece hinted at these limitations in terms of the piece. It showed how it’s so hard to walk the line between the pristine cosmopolitanism of futurology and dystopia… and how we lean hard toward the latter than the former these days. --- The 10th running of SONICA Festival in Ljubljana, operated by the Museum of Transitory Art, focuses on the matter of “sensitivity,” and whether it is necessary to oblige to it anymore. The context of our times certainly gives us reason to ask this question. Of course, many here would be uncomfortable to even consider it. SONICA graciously invited Tiny Mix Tapes to attend and to become part of their talks. In turn, I, on my own 10th anniversary of writing for TMT, have been sent to cover… and to talk. I will avoid the trappings of nostalgia tripping as much as I can, though I probably already screwed up in making note of prior cities. Oh well. Not the worst thing that can happen in a festival review. --- Tuesday: Ni v Sloveniji/non in Slovenia É engraçado. Falou esloveno mais bem de italiano. Porque é…? Meh. Culpo Portugal. Thursday: Kino Šiška Aïsha Devi (Photo: Lana Špiler) The headliner of the night was Aïsha Devi. It is worth noting her purpose here at this point: She is representative of the potential not of electronic music (that in and of itself is a different matter), but of SHAPE, the European Union’s attempt at creating a centralized platform for artist development throughout its member states (disclosure: TMT is a SHAPE media partner). While many of the acts this week are connected to SHAPE in some capacity, either as active members or alumni, Devi represents one of its bigger success stories, making a significant impact on the electronic music scene. So it makes some sense to have her around, especially with a new album to tout. Her set at Kino Šiška was a dichotomy of sorts. On the one hand, her music remained the same: A miasmic hodgepodge of dissonance with some foundations of brilliance that screamed missed opportunity. On the other hand, her performance actually worked to her favor, with her jumpy mannerisms and distorted movements working up the crowd. Friday: Cankarjev Dom The return to Cankarjev Dom would also come with an upgrade. In lieu of Monday’s visit to Kosovel Hall, SONICA booked Linhartova dvorana/Linhart Hall, a vast concert stage that was almost certainly double in capacity. It felt like a true concert hall in scope, compared to Kosovel’s lecture-like space. To open the night, Canadian artists Jason Sharpe and Adam Basanta took to the stage in an intense barrage of sound. The post-rock narrative worked to their advantage in this situation, built on call and response between Sharpe’s instrumentation and Basanta’s looping. It’s worth noting the prior descriptions of the concert hall fit well here. Acoustics in a venue tend not to matter as much in electricified music, since the sound is already partially shaped and adjustable. However, in acts such as Sharpe’s and Basanta’s, where a greater emphasis is placed on sound design and manipulation, the acoustics start to matter a lot more. Which is to say that Linhart Hall played as much a role in turning the duo’s sound into its own thing as the effects on display. Saturday: Klub CD As the music shifted to act #2, which was intended as a transmission to the spirit of Ziggy Stardust, of Starman, of the Thin White Duke, and of all his other iterations, the mood changed. There was little chatter in the crowd. People were just drifting. And in that moment, everything felt strangely earnest. There was an inexplicable sincerity projected by Basinski’s music, even as he remained decked out in glam rock attire. It made me think about not just what I was doing in Ljubljana, but also what I have been doing generally. Sometimes you get the clarity you look for in unexpected places. As the loops weaved through and about, I felt an urge to question my actions and roles as a Writer of MusicTM and supporter of the Chicago DIY scene, as well as a passive supporter of DIY scenes everywhere else. Have I done enough? Have I put in enough effort to truly help communities move forward? Has my own hesitance at being a social person, and the insufferability that has permeated much of the social internet, created an unnecessary crutch to prevent me from doing more and actually be a helpful person? These are weird questions to ask in the middle of an ambient performance. But perhaps this was the only time I could really think about anything beyond the scope of this report, really. And perhaps it was necessary. The priorities had changed. http://j.mp/2C3YUhs

[recommendedlisten]

The EP is such a fun format to take a deeper look into each year, because it’s like a grab bag of burgeoning artists and established ones who could very well be light years apart on the ladder of success, and yet, both have the same goal in common: To take risks and get a little weird in the music they’re making. Here on Recommended Listen, it’s got plenty of proven success stories behind it, considering the likes of everyone from Girlpool, Moses Sumney, Palehound, Shamir and Vince Staples have all graced this list in the past before going on to outdo their own potential. For the most part, 2017’s selections are the former scenario -- Young artists cutting their teeth with an impressive short-form opening statement (or in one case, two...) that has you looking forward to whatever comes next, but a couple of familiar names managed to keep the bar raised, too. These are the 10 Best EPs of 2017...

10. Ohyeahsumi - Your Friends Are Looking for You [Sports Day Records]

Los Angeles has long been the backdrop of a Hollyweird culture, and Your Friends Are Looking for You, the debut effort by Ohyeahsumi, extracts all of the danger among beauty, and mystery among romance out of the city’s perpetually sunlit sky into the bedroom for an intriguing dark pop affair. Behind its closed door sit Lena and Rena Vernon, an enigmatic pair of teenage twin sisters whose cryptophasia for disturbia throughout its six tracks is utterly entrancing. It the strange kind that has the ability to melt the walls of the room as the listen unfurls and plots hypnotic bass lines, post-punk corners, and spectral keys toeing over sublime sonic warps. While Ohyeahsumi’s debut EP introduces the sisters Vernon as two young artists searching for an identity in darker motifs and hidden diary passages with enough space to grow beyond the realm they’ve witchcrafted here, it sparks just enough questions in their morbid bedroom pop to lead you on to what comes next.

9. Julia Michaels - Nervous System [Republic Records]

Before her 21st birthday, Julia Michaels had already made a name for herself as one of the most recognizable pens writing today’s biggest pop hits for Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. This year, she stepped out on her own with her debut EP Nervous System, putting two shamelessly played-to-death singles on the Hot 100 charts in the hyper self-aware ballad “Issues” and the kinky itch-to-scratch “Uh Huh”. Those aren’t even the best of the seven-track track listen, however, with deep cuts like “Worst In Me” being one of the year’s finest examples of pop songwriting craft altogether. What has separated her from the pop kingdom at large is how her naked emotions, prose, and the soft crackles in her voice are entirely co-dependent on one another while orbiting Michaels’ signature narratives – falling in love, the eventual heartache, and vulnerability as strength – that few of her peers can claim are entirely theirs to own. Nobody in the whole world can own a song and emotion the way Michaels does here.

8. Boy Harsher - Country Girl [Ascetic House]

2017 uncovered a gem hidden between Western Massachusetts’ mounts and valleys with Boy Harsher, the Northampton duo of vocalist Jae Matthews and producer Augustus Muller whose latest collection of spectral ravers capture an oft-chased aesthetic of inhabiting darker spaces without making them feel like they’ve been walked through several times over, or by anyone at all for that matter. On Country Girl, their shadows move through seedy intersections of IDM and a cryptic tension built up by a slow pulse of phasers, corrosive drum beats, and vocalist Jae Matthews’ smokey murmurs.  A few flashes of bright bulbs intermittently flash the whereabouts of where Boy Harsher’s decrepit disco has brought you, with it being a dance floor with a dangerous foundation beneath where ecstasy is not necessarily a substance, but rather a brain chemical reaction going off in your body. To release it, they merely have to play on your fears.

7. Weeping Icon - Eyeball Under [Fire Talk / Kanine Records]

An excellent feature in The New York Times this past year told us what most of us already know: That rock music isn’t dead, it’s just ruled by women, and went on to let us eavesdrop on a round table discussion and profile a who’s who list of some of the faces at the forefront of it all. In a perfect world, there’d be more than two dozen names on that list, and the Brooklyn noise punk outfit Weeping Icon – which features members from former and current NYC scene bands ADVAETA, Lutkie, Mantismass, Warcries and Water Temples – would get just due themselves for their debut EP Eyeball Under. Where they demand your attention is in their violence of guitars and lead singer Lani Combier-Kapel ability to channel conversation between furious screams and echos, or wry group harmonies. Weeping Icon’s sound would convincingly play to the scenes of the world’s inner ugliness being burned down into oblivion, and to ensure it, there’s no shortage of fuel for them to add to the fire.

6. Courtship Ritual - Chary [Godmode Music]

Courtship Ritual’s Monica Salazar and bass magician Jared Olmsted are forward-thinking post-punk specters who have created their own lane in the oft-regurgitated realm of the sound by teasing their fingers around sensuality and rhythmic body-to-body thrusts. CHARY moves well beyond what they’ve already conjured behind closed doors, however. The duo still remain inspired by the dark, yet are more playful – albeit, kinkier – in their delivery, and over the course of five tracks, we are given just enough of a taste of their new tantalizing come-ons to satisfy carnal desires immediately. While its full-length predecessor Pith was dense, sticky, and seasonably astute to drop down the sweat-soaked skin of summer, CHARY carries its way into the air with an inviting cool and a lighter curiosity to its imagination. It’s said that to keep the flame burning, you need to be open to trying new things, and here, Courtship Ritual sound like they’re open to any idea of it does just that.

5. Nine Inch Nails - ADD VIOLENCE [The Null Corporation]

ADD VIOLENCE, the second Nine Inch Nails EP in a three-part series that began at the tail of 2016 and will presumably conclude by the time 2017 comes to a close, is held together better than its predecessor Not the Actual Events by the super-charged industrial glitch work from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Here, they have distanced themselves from the spacial soundscaping that permeated its way from their silver screen soundtracking into that listen with a more appropriately designed model to fill the walls of arenas. Any previous kinks in the system have been worked through in its bleeds of clean, cohesive electro pop spirals, ice cold percussion, and white hot guitar rash that brings to mind the dark, dystopian new wave of 2005′s With Teeth. It’s probably by no shear coincidence that this exists during a fever pitch of political unrest as well. Whatever comes after this, ADD VIOLENCE is a monstrous interstitial that in the darkest corners of Nine Inch Nails’ altered zone tends to leave the biggest clue for future directions.

4. House of Feelings - Last Chance [Infinite Best]

In 2017, songwriting chameleon Matty Fasano transformed his part-time radio show and club night gig into a full-on post-apocalyptic dance troupe with House of Feelings. On their debut EP Last Chance, he and his friends provide a fascinating peer into the human condition’s technology-made void as refracted on a disco ball. Featuring YVETTE drummer Dale Eisinger as its producer and engineer, writer Joe Fassler behind its prose, and guest vocals from Shamir, Perfect Pussy’s Meredith Graves, singer and composer Gabrielle Herbst, and music and film critic Kristen Yoonsoo Kim, it’s an amalgamation of house rises, techno rhythms, silk sax, and glitchy synth-pop that plugs itself into the conscious of the past 20 years of New York City’s underground where a dystopian outlook juxtaposes an otherwise ebullient color scheme with meta truth bombs. In spite of the jadedness, Last Chance offers up a more than acceptable consolation prize of dance grooves so clickbaiting that it’s impossible not to let them pull you into their lost world while pushing worldlier anxieties off for another day.

3. Kamasi Washington - The Harmony of Difference [Young Turks]

We have two people to thank for jazz’s reemergence in the pop landscape, and that would be both Kendrick Lamar and Kamasi Washington after the latter helped the former make it cool to explore free compositions within rap and hip-hop realms on 2015′s To Pimp a Butterfly. K. Dot has since moved away from the experiment on his new album DAMN. (although Washington still contributes some strings,) leaving the style to rightfully be celebrated in full by the saxophonist all his own with his Harmony of Difference, his first new music since 2015′s breakout The Epic. It’s a conceptual piece that originally stood alone as a musical installation at the the Whitney Biennial that embraces that notion that diversity is what makes the world beautiful. Washington’s whiplash chaos and big band bang compliment all the colors of humanity and our universal existence perfectly, and while Recommended Listen won’t pose that it’s knowledge of jazz study is beyond a focus on Mingus, it’s still easy to see how Kamasi Washington’s hope is far from being hidden in plain sight.

2. Yaeji - Yaeji [Godmode Music]

You don’t have to be an underground house savant to appreciate Yaeji’s self-titled debut EP, although it certainly helps. The 23-year-old New York City and Seoul-based DJ and producer is blurring lines in the scene between ambient rhythms, energy highs, and evocative vocal pop matter that in 20 minutes contorts the definition of dance and techno music into something that stands far above itself. Ambiguously-defined style cues poured over Kathy Yaeji Lee’s life reflections ultimately mirror the end user’s perception without relegating her own, creating an early contender for one of the year’s best mood-driven listens yet. What’s redeeming about the kaleidoscopic motions and mind bending detours experienced throughout Yaeji pays a great debt to the the fact that a majority of the five tracks included on the EP originally existed in a standout singular sense first, yet compiled into one body, are given a new lease on life when feeding from the same source of energy. Little did we know that this was actually just her 2017 warm-up... 

1. Yaeji - EP2 [Godmode Music]

EP2, Yaeji’s second extended play of 2017, is our clearest image yet of the enigmatic persona that she is. Over the span of five new tracks and a rework of Drizzy's “Passionfruit” that bests him at his own game, she evolves beyond a mood-driven dance scene she’s already conquered by shape-shifting her sound around trap beats and surface-level singing in the form of pseudo-raps sung in her custom blend of Korean and English that’s putting her entirely in her own lane. The latter half of the equation especially is becoming her calling card and secret weapon in molding sound around her singing. “Drink I’m Sippin On” and “Raingurl” both rely heavily on the language mash-up to compliment the way her synthetic blueprints engages with the world view of the person creating them, with the former oozing a swaggering machismo, and the latter as caffeinated microbursts. With any less control in intention, it could be misconstrued as novelty, but for this producer, it’s wholly a piece of her outsider identity as a bi-continental artist whose introverted ruminations have transcended headspace and found connection in a positive energy of expression. In 2017, shit was crazy, and for the better, shit was Yaeji.

Oh Milano, I love you. One of my favorite cities with its dapper street styles and charming dates (truth) and impeccable nightlife, I was thrilled to be part of Milan Men’s Fashion Week (MMFW, or is it MFW) again. Three of my favorite shows were from top notch designers, which is a predicament of sorts as I usually go for the modern, newbie and bespoke types.

Dolce & Gabanna

Dolce & Gabanna, judging from their 5th Ave storefront, has gone in the bling and opulent and over-the-top direction off late, focusing on tech and millennials by having runway models and influencers alike sporting vibrant colors and loud patterns. The array of clothing was mind boggling, focusing heavily on leopard print (YES!), shiny and sparkly gold (double YES!) and motifs and patterns that symbolized chaos and opulence. Titled Kings of Dolce Gabanna or DG Millennials, I liked the suits best as they spoke to a modern grungy formal look. The mix of casual, bomber jackets in bright colors and juxtaposed prints of playing cards, kings, lions and other animals… all of which were in sharp contrast to the silk suits that I could lick up into my wardrobe.

Giorgio Armani

With an airplane on the runway, Giorgio Armani focused on clean and worldly looks, with whites and grays and blacks tuned together in classically dapper and Italian clothing. There were trenchcoats in grey and white, pea cots in navy and black, button down jackets, blazers, and overall monochrome clothing that brought back a futuristic look to the classic brand. Despite having a hint of a pilot attire vibe, the pieces were fairly universally fashionable, rather plain (or plane?) with bags, accessories, straight cut pants and clean cut jackets taking the scene.

Diesel Black Gold

With a name like Diesel Black Gold, I was surprised and the lack of black (to my joy, as I find it to be the scarce color in my wardrobe) and lack of gold (to my dismay as it is in my top two favorite colors). The 90s made a comeback with a grungy and skater vibe with blues and blacks, with plaid shirts, leggings, tank tops, oversized jackets, denim and boots all racing through the runway. Almost utilitarian in their presentation, the Diesel brand seemed to cater towards its forte of youth with voluminous shirts, tailored (and collarless) jackets, and an overall techno-grunge feel. Exaggerated sizing after all, seemed to be the mainstay of the season.

Thrilled to have been a part of Milan Fashion Week again. But then again as they say, Fortuna i forti aiuta, e i timidi rifiuta. Fortune favors the bold.

The Kings of Dolce & Gabanna, Diesel Black Gold and Emporio Armani at MMFW Oh Milano, I love you. One of my favorite cities with its dapper street styles and charming dates (truth) and impeccable…
